Zusammenfassung der Gegenmaßnahmen

Workarounds are specific measures that a user can take to help block an attack, for example, temporarily disabling the vulnerable feature may remove exposure with well-known impact on functionality. For brownfield customers, ABB provides a Kubernetes network policy that restricts access to Edge Authentication Database (AuthDB) to the authorized services required for normal operation of an already deployed and configured system.
